"So, the Walcott's were the first. At least the first that we know about. Four murders. Sean, his brother, and their parents. They were killed by a professional assassin called The Mute. Weapon of choice, a millitary tomahawk. But then The mute was killed by Peter Hale after he tried to blow up Derek with claymore mine. Next was Demarco. He delivered a keg to the party at Lydia's lake house. And got decapitated outside his car. And then last night, twenty-three years old Carrie Hudson" Stiles said, looking at his dad.

"It's a dead pool" Scott said. "A hit list of supenatural creatures" he gave him the list. "This is only a part of it. The rest still has to be decoded"

"Who found this list?" sheriff asked.

"Lydia" Stiles said.

"How?" he looked at me then back at Stiles.

"She wrote it" I said.

"Actually, she transcibed it. Without realizing it" Stiles said and I nodded.

"Banshee?" sheriff asked.

"Banshee" Stiles nodded.

Sheriff nodded. "Beautiful. Alright, what are these numbers next to the names?"

"It's how much they worth. I think" I said. "But, I'm not so sure. First, the code was broken with a cipher key. Like a...."

"Wait. You mean, like a.... like a key word?" sheriff asked.

"It's actually a name"

"A.... Allison" I said.

We was quite for a moment before Stiles broke the silence.

"Her name broke a third of the list"

"And now we think there's two other cipher keys" Scott said.

"Which will give us the rest of the names" sheriff mutmured. "Okay. So how do we get the cipher keys?" 

"Like we got the first one" I said.

"Lydia" Scott said. "She's been out at the lake house all weekend trying to find the other key words"

 Sheriff nodded, looking at the pictures of two people who were killed.

"You didn't know about Demarco or Carrie. Hmm?" he asked. "And what about these other two name on the list? Uh, Kayleen Bettcher and Elias Town. They werewolfs two?"

"I don't know. But Deaton said that the nemeton would draw superntural creatures here" Scott replied.

"Here being Beacon Hills? Or Beacon County? The population of Beacon Hills is just under thirty tousand" sheriff said.

"And dropping" Stiles said and I hitted him into ribs as he cried out of pain.

Sheriff rolled his eyes. "But if we're talking Beacon County, then you're looking at close to five hundred tousand. Look, how many werewolfs, banshees, kitsunes and what ever the hell is out there are we talking about? And what happeds if the next cipher key uncovers not twelve names but hundred?"

"No, there is a limit"

"Because fo the numbers" Scott pointed at the list. "We think that once we decode the names, the numbers will add up to 117"

"117 what?"

"Milion" I said and Stiles started to write on the paper

"One hudred and seventeen milion dollars, dad"

"Stolen from the Hale vault. And someone is using them as a payment for murders" I said.

"Someone who wants every supernatural in Beacon Hills dead" Scott said.
